    Chapter 38 Military Order (3) The voice of General Tong Guan to convey the order was still lingering, and Xiao Yan had already strode onto the festival hall.  Ma Kuo was at the bottom of the steps and did not follow him in. He just pressed his sword and looked at Xiao Yan's back.  The first thing that caught Xiao Yan's eyes was the tables in the festival hall, with Tong Guan at the top, and all around him were figures in splendid clothes and jade belts. They all looked at the old man sitting opposite Tong Guan.  , his beard and eyebrows are all white, and his waist cannot be straightened up, but among his half-opened and half-closed eyes, the gaze cast on his face is as real as day.  In the festival hall, you could only hear the sound of your own footsteps, and for the rest of the time there was just silence.  This old man with a white beard and eyebrows must be a teacher The rest of them are probably the commanders-in-chief of the Western Army. Yao Gu and Liu Yanqing are among the teachers, right?  Now I seem to be regarded as the person who killed the eunuch and the traitor Tong Guan, and these Western Army ministers, I am afraid that they are more hostile to me, right?  Hey even if you hadn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere, you still couldn't defeat Tong Guan, the dead eunuch Besides, in this historical Northern Expedition, the performance of these veteran generals was really not too bad.  Guangcai It's just me. Do I have to get involved in the fight between Tong Guan and these Western Army ministers?  When Xiao Yan walked into the festival hall, the most important part of his mood was a trace of helplessness.  ¡°Forget it, we¡¯ve come this far, just bite the bullet and go downotherwise, wouldn¡¯t all my struggles in the past become a joke?  Today's task is to perform this scene well Tong Guan's voice suddenly rang in his ears. Tong Guan had already stood up from behind the cases, giving Xiao Yan a lot of face.  Seeing Tong Guan stand up, the few Xijun princes who had just sat down also stood up one after another. Even Zhong Shidao started to tremble with hard work.  "Xiao Xuanzan, these are the Xianggongs of the Western Army, Xianggong Laozhong, Xianggong Xiaozhong, Xianggong Yao, and Xianggong Liu. We are all military leaders, and we will live and die together on the Yandi battlefield. There are not so many red tapes.  When you see me, it's all in it Everyone, this is Xiao Yan, the commander of the Zuo Division of the Ministry of War of the Song Dynasty. He was born in the North and returned to the Song Dynasty. He was also ordered to go out in the Northern Expedition of our army.  The victorious army risked ten thousand lives to rush back to the camp, and he is also a first-class good man!" Tong Guan gave the order, this is the head of the rice team who has taken him 10,000 guan, how dare Xiao Yan neglect it, he is so busy that he is deeply worried!  He bowed to the ground and said: "See you, gentlemen! In front of all gentlemen, there is no room for commander-in-chief to praise his subordinates" Before he could finish his words, Liu Yanqing came over and helped him up. He just looked at him with a smile.  He said to Xiao Yan: "A good man is a good man. We are wallowing among the dead, and we speak straight. If you don't admire these people, who else should you admire? Xiao Xuanzan, we should have a drink when we have time!" You  Is Liu Yanqing straightforward?  Xiao Yan just smiled at the stocky man in his fifties.  Liu Yanqing's head was half lower than his, with his face raised in a straight posture, and Xiao Yan had to bend down to cooperate with him. He looked as weird as possible.  ??This Liu Yanqing, in history, cooperated with Tong Guan and eventually broke the Western Army into pieces. He also went beyond Zhongshi Dao and became the commander of the Western Army for a while, causing Lao Zhong to die in depression the next year.  The last large corps with combat effectiveness in the Northern Song Dynasty was tortured to death.  The Jurchens went south, but they did not play any role in resistance. Zhongshi Zhong and Yao Gu even led the last elite to be defeated and died when assisting Taiyuan. Later, the embers picked up by the Wu brothers were no longer the simple and brave army.  , the Western Army that has defended the Western Frontier of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years But now everyone can barely be regarded as Tong Guan, a dead eunuch, and Xiao Yan will not say the slanderous words in his belly even if he is beaten to death.  The two of them were chatting and the scene was a bit awkward.  Zhong Shidao had already spoken softly: "Xiao Xuanzan?" Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Xiao Yan quickly got rid of Liu Yanqing's big hands.  I almost got goosebumps just now!  He turned to Zhong Shidao and bowed slightly, looking old-fashioned, and saluted with his hands crossed: "Old Mr. Zhong, I wonder if you have any inquiries for me?" Zhong Shidao's tone was cold, as if every word he said was asked carelessly:  "Xiao Xuanzan, it's all about boasting, but after the war, the military situation is still important The Northern Expeditionary Army is now seriously short of vacancies, a lot of equipment and military resources have been lost, and its vigor has been slightly weakened. There is no need to hide this from others. We must  Go north again, cross the Baigou River, and move forward. This is a big deal! If you are not careful, you will be driven into the Baigou River! I only have a few questions. I wonder if Xiao Xuanzan can answer them?  Yan glanced at Tong Guan. At this time, Tong Guan just stood behind the cases calmly, looking at Zhong Shidao with concern as he inquired about himself, as if he was also very concerned about this big issue.  His demeanor seemed both modest and solemn.  ¡­¡­¡­This damn eunuch acted first¡­¡­¡­   Xiao Yan took a deep breath, crossed his hands and said: "I have inquired about Mr. Zhong, how dare I tell you without telling the truth?" "The Ever-Victorious Army, if it is as stated in the list, it has ten thousand victorious troops."  ?" Xiao Yan was startled when he heard this. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally smiled bitterly: "Ten thousand people are not enough." Next to him, Yao Gu let out a loud chuckle.  Tong Guan looked at him without saying a word.  "Can these ten thousand people be of one mind? The Evervictorious Army is made up of eight battalions of the Resentful Army. Guo Yaoshi only led one battalion at the beginning, and he has been in charge of the Evervictorious Army for only one year. Among these ten thousand people, Guo Yaoshi may be like an arm.  "Use your fingers?" Xiao Yan really didn't think too much about this.  The scene of Guo Dalang and Zhao Heshou relaying news of their request for an audience through the maid at the side of Medicine Master Guo came to mind again unconsciously.  Historically, Pharmacist Guo successfully surrendered with his entire army But for some reason, there was a trace of worry lingering in his heart at this time.  This time, Xiao Yan's answer was more sincere than just a show: "ThisI dare not say it." Teacher Zhong was still affectionate and cold, and just asked: "The Changsheng Army  Is the armor and staff strong? Is the city of Zhuozhou strong enough to support the army?  Should they turn back to deal with the Ever Victorious Army? If my army goes north now, will they be able to save the Ever Victorious Army? " Xiao Yan just looked at Zhong Shidao's completely white eyebrows.  Every question asked by Master Zhong is very reasonable.  However, that¡¯s not how the account is calculated.  ??The Northern Expedition in history reached such a ridiculous ending, and later generations will blame Tong Guan more.  But don¡¯t the generals of the Western Army have no responsibility from the top to the bottom?  Especially you, my old husband!  Northern Liao is already in turmoil. As long as everyone is united and marches forward with the whole army, there are so many courageous and powerful men in the Yan region. How can the southern officials of Daliao not surrender in spite of the wind?  It is because this army, from Tong Guan to the princes, all have their own selfish motives and are entangled together. The war at Baigou River ended like this because one side was desperate and the other was half-hearted!  Even though Zhong Shidao was right, a powerful faction like Guo Yaoshi with tens of thousands of people surrendered and did not send anyone to respond and tried their best to support him.  How can we still expect Yan Di Haner to return home?  No matter how powerful Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian are, they are just struggling to support themselves!  It was precisely because the Song Dynasty itself was divided and weak and could not move northward that it gave them room to maneuver and spread, and planted the hidden danger that the entire Song Dynasty empire would collapse in four and a half years!  So many famous ministers and generals are sitting back and watching this war get out of hand.  Can I, a person who lived alone a thousand years ago, be able to undo all of this?  However, Zhongshi Dao had already turned to Tong Guan and raised his voice: " It is a happy event that Medicine Master Guo has asked to surrender. Once Commander Xuan orders us to go north, even if there are all kinds of difficulties, we will follow the order!"  However, when it comes to military matters, more is more likely to win than less. Once there is a change in Guo Yaoshi and the Liao army turns around and attacks again, I am afraid that our Northern Expedition army will be frustrated again.  I don¡¯t know when we will be able to march into Yanjing again! I can¡¯t wait until I am fooled. I have to ask Commander Xuan to make a decision on such a big plan!¡± Tong Guan slowly twirled his precious beard and just said nothing.  .  Hidden behind the look was anger.  What Lao Zhong said was all within his expectations.  If the problem of the Western Army Group is not resolved, how can these gentlemen take this risk for him?  Not to mention when someone else is going downhill.  Although everything was expected, the vicious flames in his heart were getting higher and higher.  The old man was almost making it clear to him that even if he forced the Western Army to go north, they would stage another Battle of Baigou River for him. By then, after two consecutive defeats, he would collapse no matter how strong his Tong Guan Holy Family was.  !  Not to mention that there is a husband who is trying his best to defeat them and is still waiting to step on him and the deputy envoy of Xuanfu to come out again!  But sitting here with a large army and waiting passively is still his fault!  This old husband is so vicious!  Master Zhong and Yao Gu both bowed to Tong Guan at this time: "Commander Xuan, please make a decision! It is gratifying that Master Guo has surrendered, but we must also pay attention to the concerns of Zhongjie How to deal with it, but please  Commander Xuan has made his decision, I'm just waiting for orders!" But Liu Yanqing just stood aside with an embarrassed look on his face, saying nothing.  At this time, nothing is right, so just pretend to be stupid.  Tong Guan slowly put down his hand, his face looking extremely embarrassed: "This and this it seems that we need to consider it in the long term" Upon hearing this, Yao Gu, who could not hold back his anger, flashed with joy.  As long as we take a long-term approach, this matter can be postponed.  Tong Guan's efforts to use the tricks played by Xiao Xuanzan, who is a mother-in-law, will be in vain.  This Xiao Xuanzan looks like a pretty boy, but he hides his head seven feet high, and his face isThere are scars, and there is a unique smell that only comes after a bloody battle for the rest of your life.  It is really not easy for a scholar to achieve such a level, but all this hard work will only be in vain!  Teacher Zhong just lowered his eyes and sighed inaudibly.  His expression was actually a little lonely.  In the festival hall, a sneer suddenly sounded, but it was Xiao Yan. His expression was extremely sarcastic, and the sneer was so loud that everyone turned their eyes again.  Xiao Yan stood upright, his eyes slowly swept over the faces of the four ministers of the Western Army, and said coldly: "The last wishes of Taizu and Taizong were actually put in vain by all the ministers!" Tong Guan shouted loudly: "Xiao Xuanzan  , Shut up! I just summoned you to inquire about the military and national affairs. How can you have any room to speak?"  Tens of thousands of loyal souls along the river! The Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures separated from the Han family in the Fifth Dynasty. From then on, the barbarians took control of China!  Chanzhou, not far from Liang! The Hebei army is not as good as the Shaanxi army. You know, during the hundred years of border preparations, how many of the Liao people died in state affairs for our Song Dynasty?  It took decades, but it was obtained in exchange for hundreds of thousands of taels of annual tribute!
